First Butterfly this Spring

My first butterfly of 2024, a Comma (Polygonia c-album) catching some spring sunshine in the outdoor plant section of my local B&Q DIY centre at Evesham. Usually my first butterfly of the spring is a Small Tortoiseshell or a Brimstone, but adult Commas do hibernate, even if they normally first wake up in late March or April.
